Featured Disneyland Resort Attraction: Disneyland Railroad

Each week (maybe more often) I will feature a random current attraction from the Disneyland Resort here on the Talking Disney Podcast website. Our next random featured attraction we are highlighting is the Disneyland Railroad at Disneyland Park.

The Disneyland Railroad attraction is located in Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort with various stations located around the resort. The attraction was an original opening day attraction, transporting guests around the park since July 17, 1955.

Walt Disney was well known for his love of trains so it was no shock that his park would include a railroad and was always part of the original plans. Originally known as the Santa Fe Railroad (aka the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad), now just the Disneyland Railroad. The Disneyland Railroad is a fun and relaxing way to get around the park or just sit back and enjoy the views of of the Rivers of America and the Grand Canyon diorama or travel back in time and check out the Primeval World - Land of the Dinosaurs. You can board at one of four locations, Main Street, U.S.A. Station, New Orleans Square Station, Mickey's Toontown Depot or the Tomorrowland Station. The trains were named after American locomotive legends and one Disney Legend who shared Walt's passion for the railroad. They include C.K. Holliday, E.P. Ripley, Ernest Marsh, Fred Gurley and Ward Kimball (Disney Legend).
